Fred Meyer, Inc., is a chain of
superstores founded in 1922 in
Portland, Oregon, by
Fred G. Meyer (not to be confused with
Frederik Gerhard Hendrik Meijer, former chairman of the
Meijer superstore chain, which is based in Michigan, with stores in the Midwest). The company was one of the pioneers of one-stop shopping, eventually combining a complete grocery supermarket with a drugstore, clothing store, shoe store, fine jewelers, home decor store, home improvement center, garden center, electronics store, toy store, sporting goods store, and more under one roof.
